Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X710-DA2 is a dual-port server network adapter for adding high-speed Ethernet connectivity. Each port supports 10GbE or 1GbE, giving a server two network connections for data traffic.
The adapter uses PCI Express 3.0 x8. Its SFP+ connectivity supports 10GBASE-SR and 10GBASE-LR optical media, as well as direct-attach copper cabling. The two ports can serve network links in server and data-centre environments.
Hardware offloads support network virtualization and packet processing, with use cases that include virtualized servers, cloud deployments and network functions virtualization. Intel lists low-profile and full-height bracket options for this model.
